  • How can I help?

    At St Nicholas CEVC Primary school, the purpose of homework is to;

    • Consolidate learning - Revise, practise and memorise skills and learning from school
    • Promote partnerships with parents - shared experience
    • Give children an opportunity to apply learning in new contexts and to new problems
    • Be meaningful without impacting on positive family experiences
    • Promote independence and choice (good life skills)
    • Homework should be at an appropriate level for the child

    Homework is shared via class newsletters every week.
